Your trademark is something valuable. So you will want to protect it online as well. Due to the enormous amount of extensions, however, it is not that easy to register your name under every extension.

TradeMark ClearingHouse (TMCH)

A registration with TMCH (€ 199,00/year) was originally intended to enable you to register your registered trademark with priority when a new gTLD is released.That is still the case, but there is more.

You can use the claims service free of charge. This means that we will send you a notification when someone registers your name under a new gTLD.

Furthermore you can protect your registered trademark with one of the other blocks we will discuss further on this page.

Interested? We're delighted to help you further! We will provide you with pre-filled paperwork, and check your application manually before we send it to you. In short, we do everything we can to relieve you of all frets worries and to reduce the chance of errors considerably.

Condition? You can register your name with the TMCH only once your trademark registration for this name has been completed. You can apply at the TMCH for 1, 3 or 5 years.

Adding a name manually

AdultBlock and AdultBlock+

AdultBlock and AdultBlock+

The AdultBlock (€ 300,00/year) enables owners of a registered trademark and sunriseB .xxx name to protect their name under .xxx, .adult, .porn and .sex (unless someone else has already registered your name under one of these extensions).

The AdultBlock+ (€ 600,00/year) goes a few steps further and offers you the option of protecting your registered trademark or sunriseB .xxx-name and many variations on it under .xxx, .adult, .porn and .sex.The variations do have to meet strict conditions. For example, for "bank", you could also get bânk, bänk, bànk,.. Letters that resemble letters in another script (Cyrillic, Greek, ...) are also protected.

SunriseB .xxx name? During the .xxx release, there was a so-called sunriseB. You could then block your registered trademark for 10 years under .xxx. Your name did not refer to an active website, but could not be registered by anyone else. However, this period ends in 2021 and cannot be renewed. That is why the .xxx registry offers these blocks as an alternative.

Interested? We will be delighted to help you further with your application for an AdultBlock or AdultBlock+. You can use the form on the right to start your registration already.

Conditions? You have registered your trademark with the TMCH or you are the owner of a sunriseB .xxx domain name.

The AdultBlock and AdultBlock+ can be activated per year as well as per 3, 5 or 10 years.
